seed

A 20 minute thought experiment

INSTEAD:

Of that same old feeling the feeling of that same old
That same old sameness that feeling of stalling that
Feeling of the inevitable return to the inevitable end
End of all efforts end of all hopes beliefs end of all
Attempts all dares all choices all dreams all decisions

instead

Darkness all around silence all around not nothing far
From nothing the darkness is:

Warm
Wet
Firm
Alive

The darkness is

a home.

now

a feeling a drawing up
a feeling a drawing down
an urge to push up
an urge to push down
to stretch
to reach
to rise

(does it seem impossible? Do you feel that you are
already dead? I know this is not true. I KNOW it. Do
you understand? I know you're there. I see you, right
now, from the dark place I see you. Things change.
Things become different. Your time comes whenever
you say it, from the darkness, when your time of saying
I am almost ready to begin is ending and your time of
Saying

now

Is just begun)

Understanding is not required. Belief is not required.
Knowledge is not required. Hope is not required. A
Cheerful countenance is not required. Vision is not required.

Peace of heart is required

But only for a moment
And then

it breaks through the darkness into the light.

klik if you demand tedious explanations of every little thing.
